The infestation of the world pandemic has significantly changed the landscape of teaching and learning experience in Malaysia.  Particularly for the institution under study, E-learning, previously used as the support medium to face-to-face classroom teaching, has become the primary medium of teaching and learning amid Covid-19.  E-learning platform has replaced the face-to-face classes. Even though it is only a temporary approach, less is known in terms of its effectiveness.  The present paper intends to examine the factors contributing to E-learning's effectiveness in a Higher Education Institution in Malaysia amid the COVID-19 crisis. The Technology Acceptance Model underpinned the conceptual framework.   This study investigated the relationship between the independent variables (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and self-motivation) and E-learning effectiveness.  The data were collected through an online self-administrated questionnaire using Google form and received a total of 354 respondents.  The data were analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS.  The findings revealed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and self-motivation positively influenced E-learning's effectiveness.  This paper concluded that regardless of whether as the support medium or the primary medium in the teaching and learning process, the determinant to E-Learning effectiveness is still perceived the same. This study also supports the TAM proposition while incorporate self-motivation in measuring learning effectiveness.

Commitment to the covenant is one of the most important values in religious moral system. Faithfulness to the covenant and its profound role in human meaningful life and human societies can be considered and examined from different aspects; but the main question in this research is that: What are the importance and effects of fulfilling the covenant and its meaning in life From Religious Perspective? The method of this research is a descriptive method, by using library studies, review of documents and review of verses and hadiths and narrative-revelatory arguments related to the subject of discussion in the field of religious studies. We have concluded that based on the verses of the Quran and hadiths, commitment to the covenant has a high status in Islam like other Abrahamic religions; but in particular, the value of fulfilling the covenant in Islam has come to be synonymous with faith; this means that if a person does not fulfill his covenant, he has no faith. This meaning has been considered so important in the lives of human beings and human societies that if a covenant is made with the enemy and even the polytheists and unbelievers it must be committed. Therefore, one of the behaviors that play an important role in moral societies and it is important in making life meaningful and also in tolerance of human society, is the commitment to the covenant.
